Traveler falters
on the path.
She is wounded.
Her wolf companion
has left her side,
and her hand
is empty
when it moves
to touch his head.
It is a blow,
a hole torn
in the
fabric
of her living.
But, soon,
she hears
a skybird's song.
It mends and weaves
the sore place
in her heart, bids her
resume her journey,
encourages her
from low branches
till she
gets up
and walks again.
She follows
that bird
the whole
day long.
